The Shadow On the Wall

Two hats hanging on the banister Stacked on top of each other When the sun shines the shadow Appears on the beige wall The sun shows a shape A face on the wall Appears wearing a hat A face on the wall The eye m nose, and mouth He is staring at me The face is sideways It is why one eye down Part of his lip and hat His shadow is sideways That is how he appears Every sunny day

Hello Deb, when the sun shines in the kitchen a theme on the wall appears. The shadow man. He appears to keep me company while i have breakfast. In the hallway is a rainbow carpet from the sun. Your friend. /Darlene\
